The president was filmed walking to a helicopter and failing to walk in a straight line, prompting concerns about his mobility and health14:42 ET, 01 Jul 2026All eyes are on President Donald Trump as he continues to show signs of rapidly decreasing health. On Wednesday, Trump paid a visit to Medora, North Dakota, for a tour and dedication ceremony at the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.
